what do you guys think about using synthetic oil in a bike, i use them in my car and truck but on the bike? any ideas

 

synthetic is better than dino...except for the cost.

 

cost really doesent matter is it makes the engine last long and run better, what brand do you suggest

 

Nice Bike

 

thanks, just got it last week, not a big fan of the purple, i plan to piant it this summer, as well as my civic.paint to match

 

use synthetic oil that doesn't have additives to help with gas milage. Tha'ts what i've heard. Car oils consintract on saving fuel which will cause the gear box to slip in bike. I just stick with the Honda oil. Kinda expensive...but atleast I know it works.

I think abadfish says he uses mobil 1 10w40.

 

iam using suzuki full synthetic i got a good deal at 4 bucks a pop no complaints . but as mentioned the better the product u use when comes to oil the better your engineperforms . my bike actually does better in traffic now n does not heat up as fast.

 

I run Amsoil

 

I just stick with the GN4 honda oil.. It averages from 16-20 bux a gallon and the f3 (98) takes 3.9 qts, which makes a gallon perfect. Also, the honda oil has an additive because the bike has a wet clutch, meaning that the clutch uses the oil to shift, and not just gear oil. I dont know that I would trust anything else when the engine and clutch both need it. Just my .02......

 

Ditto on the amsoil, I haven't had any problems with it.
